STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Sounds like two founding members of Shaolin's iconic rap collective are in serious need of a little R&R.

Wu-Tang Clan's long-gestating album, “A Better Tomorrow,” was scheduled to drop in July. However, an ongoing battle between RZA and Raekwon is making that 20th anniversary release seem increasingly unlikely.

Raekwon then declared he was "on strike" from Wu-Tang Clan in an interview with Rolling Stone -- in which he also blasted Wu's new music “mediocre."

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, RZA gave Raekwon a deadline to be a part of the iconic rap collective's first album in seven years.

"If we don't come to terms [with Raekwon], I think, within the next 30 days, then this will either be an album without Raekwon or an album that never sees the light of day,” said rapper-actor-director RZA, who hit theaters nationwide today in the action flick "Brick Mansions."

“... I would not want to put out a Wu-Tang album without every live member available. At the same time, I don't want the fans not to have this incredible music that we've been workin' on for the last year. So that's gonna be a tough decision, but we've got about 30 days to make that decision and come to that conclusion."

When asked to rank, on a scale of one to 10, the chances of him appearing on the new album, Raekwon said: "We at a two right now. It’s like climbing up a … mountain if you got on slippers."

Oh well, if Wu fans miss out on “A Better Tomorrow,” they can always place a bid on group’s single-copy "secret" album. Warning: It will cost you at least $5 million.
